2. A while back me and a couple buddies
went on a backpacking trip across
Scotland.

3. Saw some cool castles, visited some
nice distilleries, and learned a lot of
history.

4. There was this one field where a
famous battle took place.

5. Up until that point, the only Scottish
battle scenes I knew about were from
Braveheart.

6. A whole slew of dudes running at each
other screaming their lungs out.

7. Perfect for Hollywood, but not so
accurate.

8. In reality, the bad guys were
approaching slowly across this huge
marshy field.

9. The good guys (The Scots) were slowly
retreating.

10. Why so slow?

11. It was a magnificent trick by the Scots.

12. See, they KNEW where the solid
ground was, and where the super soft
ground was. But the bad guys didn't.

13. The Scots led them to that field, and
drew them in. Then one by one, they
got stuck.

14. This allowed one or two Scots to get
close enough, kill the guy with a
couple arrows, and then retreat back.

15. Took a while, but the bad guys didn't
stand a chance, even though they
were much stronger in numbers.

16. A very similar battle took place in
ancient Greece.

17. A small group of ships were retreating
from a large larger navy.

18. Only the retreating ships were in
familiar waters.

19. They KNEW where all the sand bars
were, but the bad guys didn't.

20. Again, one by one, the bad guys got
stuck, a one ship got close enough to
shoot some flaming arrows, and it was
all over.

21. Most of us have plenty of those hidden
spots.

22. We could be walking along and then
suddenly we feel stuck.

23. Stuck but an unexpected and powerful
surge of unwanted emotions that
keeps us frozen.

24. We suddenly feel put on the spot, or
suddenly feel like we're in danger, or
suddenly feel like we're being left out
or ignored.

25. A good way to deal with these would
be to take some to figure out where
they come from.

26. Look at the structure of the situations
that keep eliciting them.

27. Then like the Greeks or the Scots,
you'd know where they were, and
you'd know how to avoid them.

28. Or you could go one step further.

29. You could eliminate them altogether.

30. Then it really WOULD be like a movie.

31. Only you wouldn't be running and
screaming into battle (with your face
painted blue), you'd just be running
and laughing through life.

32. Like a bunch of little kids let loose on
the playground.

33. Open waters, clear sailing, and no
obstacles in sight.
